A new transportation bill is 889 days late, according to our pals over at Transportation for America, so excitement is running high that the Senate might actually vote this week on a new bill - MAP-21 (S.1813).

We’ve just won a big battle for biking and walking in the Senate. After several long weeks of intense work from advocates around the country and our partners at America Bikes, the Cardin-Cochran Amendment has been accepted as part of the base Senate transportation bill, MAP-21.

The leadership of the Alliance for Biking & Walking, Bikes Belong, and the League of American Bicyclists has agreed that uniting the three organizations would dramatically improve their effectiveness in increasing bicycle use in U.S. communities.

Thanks, in part, to the powerful advocacy of bicyclists, members of Congress from both parties are speaking up for bicycling and walking. Bi-partisan amendments to improve the House and Senate transportation bills are being submitted in the both chambers of Congress.
